You decide to make one of the world’s largest musical instruments, using long cylindrical steel rods that are clamped tightly at both ends. The speed of longitudinal waves in rods of the type of steel you use is 5068 m/s and the steel has a Young’s modulus of 199 GPa. Required:
a. What is the density of the steel, in kilograms per cubic meter?
b. When a longitudinal wave is excited in one of the steel rods in your instrument to produce resonance, will the rod’s ends be nodes or antinodes?
c. A standard frequency for tuning musical instruments is 440 Hz for the pitch of A above middle C, denoted A4. What is the length, in meters, of the steel rod that produces the pitch A4 as its fundamental longitudinal resonance?
d. Assume, instead, that you want to create a smaller version of this, using the same kind of construction, with one rod of length 9.5 cm. What would the fundamental longitudinal resonance frequency of that rod be, in hertz, with the same longitudinal wave speed as above, 5149 m/s?

The air in an automobile tire with a volume of 2.60 ft3 is at 70°f and 21 psig. determine the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure to the recommended value of 30 psig. assume the atmospheric pressure to be 14.6 psia and the temperature and the volume to remain constant. the gas constant of air is ru = 53.34ft⋅lbflbm⋅r(1 psia144 lbf/ft2) = 0.3704 psia⋅ft3lbm⋅r the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure is lbm

Engines for propeller-driven aircraft are limited in their maximum rotational speed by the fact that the tip speed of the propeller must not approach the speed of sound in air (mach i). taking 6 ft as a typical diameter for a propeller of a light airplane and 1100 fils as the speed of sound, find the upper limit on the rpm (revolutions per minute) of the propeller shaft.
